Operations

A+T operates from a modern industrial office and workshop in Lymington, UK, home to a number of leading marine companies, yacht designers and stylists. The current team of 15 is expected to grow over the next few months as additional engineering and operational staff join.

A+T was born out of servicing marine equipment of all varieties, and stepped into manufacturing our own; Tinley, Stowe and now A+T. Additionally we can repair almost any marine equipment and have a large stock of spare parts.

Clients are welcome to visit to discuss requirements or pick-up and drop-off equipment for service.
